	Lord Lyon's New Collar of State
		This was on the occasion of the Lord Lyon's first appearance in the Collar of Office that Don made for him.

		Lyon, roused early by news that his Collar had at last arrived, roared into the city to collect the secure package, drove home, and ripped it open to find only the Queen's banner, which had been sent up to signify her Royal presence when she opened the new National Museum of Scotland that week.

		Once Arms have been granted and recorded in the Public Register, in the Court of Lord Lyon, they are protected to their owner by the full force of Scottish Law, and forever.

		The combination of shapes and colours used in the design is important but the individual features can be depicted in various ways - a lion's head, for example, can be painted in many different ways, that is up to the artist.
